Marital Health Insurance
Marital Health Insurance
What advice do you have to help me grow my idea?
Idea Description
Research strongly supports the fact that Marital Health is directly connected to ones physical health. Couples that maintain a high level of marital stability and satisfaction also enjoy a healthier life with fewer medical issues. Healthcare research also shows that a high percentage of individuals who enter therapy do so because of problems within their primary relationship. Individuals that seek therapy from a trained Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT) tend to reduce their utilization on healthcare from their Primary MD. One barrier to this is the fact that health insurance does not pay for marital or relational therapy.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
File the necessary paperwork with the IRS to establish the 501(c)3 status of the Texas non-profit organization "Marital Research Institute" and establish a fund to off set the out of pocket expenses of marital therapy. Establish contacts within the insurance community to research and review existing data regarding marital therapy and the financial benefits to both the insured and the insurance companies.
